DR,

Are you using pull-type implements? If so, they drift downhill on slopes. In reality, the TCM puts the tractor on the right line, but doesn't account for implement drift.

Chad is right--you can fudge up or downhill by inputting a different receiver height. However, you usually input a lower height to get the tractor drawbar uphill to offset implement drift. On my 8520, I usually use 1/2 to 2/3 the actual height. This has worked well for several years and lets the self-propelled sprayer autosteer and stay with the planter rows.
